I give up.

Don't give up Jack! Keep shooting and enjoy it.

This thread and the other with Bird portraits are my favorites

Also, If you add some advise/conversation from knowledable members you see why I like this forum a lot. In fact it is my #1 in the internet.

Funny enough the Rumors part is the last of my interests! (But do not tell the forum admins about that ;D )

I agree, shouldn't be hard to take that orange out with photoshop.

Such beautiful birds

+1 are you saying you were patiently waiting?

Jack

 

[kodakrome]

Thanks Click and Jack.

Jack - the older I get, the less patience I have. The birds know this. I tell them upfront that they have 20 minutes.

I was in Vagas a decade ago and there was a curbside bird show. I asked bird handled how did he prevent the birds pooping during the show. He said it was 20 minutes, too!

My African Grey can hardly last 10 minutes and sometimes he doesn't squat!

I don't have patience, I'm just too lazy to move.

Was doing some portrait shots on the beach when got buzzed by a pelican. Using Sony A7RII at the time, fortunately had the metabones adaptor and the EF 135mm f/2.0 and 2x Extender in the bag which cobble together to a useable 270mm f/4 lens.

Not the ideal combination, but you use what you have...

a few from yesterday testing sigma 150-600mm contemporary on a canon 80d.. works well!
